Media platform for analysis and criticism of the media market "Media Academy"

The media platform for analysis and criticism of the media market "Media Academy" in Tbilisi was created by the Communications Commission in 2018 and plays a significant role in the development of media literacy in Georgia. The platform structures its activities in three main areas: “Media School”, “Media Criticism” and “Media Lab”, providing extensive opportunities for learning and assessing media.

Media School conducts a variety of courses and seminars that are aimed at media managers, producers and journalists. These educational programs help participants improve their skills and knowledge in the field of media, which contributes to the overall improvement of the quality of media production in the country. Participation in training can be beneficial for both new professionals and seasoned professionals looking to update their knowledge in the rapidly changing media landscape.

The “Mediacriticism” direction is focused on detailed analysis and critical perception of media products on the Georgian market. This not only supports journalists and producers in creating more objective content, but also serves as an important guide for consumers, helping them better understand the media on offer. Such criticism helps raise standards of fairness and transparency in the media arena.

The Media Lab is the third significant component of the Academy, supporting innovative startups in the digital media field. This stream provides funding and resources for new entrepreneurial initiatives that can bring fresh perspective and technology to the media industry.

Through the integration of the educational and academic process and the development of media criticism, the Media Academy in Tbilisi is an important center for those interested in an in-depth understanding and critical approach to media. This platform is a valuable resource for professionals and enthusiasts looking to improve their media literacy and innovate in their professional work.
